My warranty ran out ten years ago, I swear.

Okay, so not only the epilepsy, not only the sciatica, not only the rest of the ways in which my body has gone defective in the past ten years.

I've had something at the bottom of my tailbone for years that I suspected was a piece of bone that had chipped off due to a fall or something. But, y'know, I figured maybe it wasn't, maybe that's just the way spines are, maybe I'm a little nuts. In an area that I'm not usually nuts. Because my body is weird, and sometimes I think that it's weirder than it really is, so maybe that's normal.

Well, for about a week now, I've been a little achy, having to shift positions a bit when I sit. But yesterday it was pretty bad - I couldn't put any pressure on my tailbone. So when I went to bed, I ran my fingers down my spine....

And hey, that's not supposed to be there!

The bit of bone has migrated upward and is now grinding happily against my spine. Adam and I can feel it externally.

So, um, I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. I mean, this morning it's slipped to the side a bit, but still, they're probably going to want to get that thing out of there.

And of course, now that I know that that really *was* something that wasn't supposed to be there - well, I've had nasty lower back pain for most of my life. And the sciatica. And my weird posture....

So yeah, doctor, X-ray, orthopedic surgeon, and I will, of course, keep y'all updated!

EDIT: Yeah, ashlupa's confirmed what I was 99% sure of; they're gonna wanna take it out. "One shot, one incision," she says, which is what I figured...

Fenris.

I just put him through hell in fourteen pages. The Purges, interspersed with flashbacks on his life with Jessa before she met her future husband and he left her, and the conception and childhood of Capri, and the hell of the Purges through it all.

I wonder if this would do as the story for those of you who sponsored me in the Blog-A-Thon. Would that be okay?

And hell, I hope it's good.
